Activity  Say: “Today we will be learning about careers that have to do with transportation, which is getting things from one place to another and delivered on time.” Ask: “Why do you think it is important that we have occupations that help move goods and services from one place to another and that the goods or services be on time?” Allow students time to answer. Ensure they understand the importance to their family, their community and the world.  Say: “The activity today will focus on the career cluster, Transportation, Distribution & Logistics.” Write: Transportation, Distribution & Logistics on the board or flip chart. Say: “Remember a career cluster will allow us to organize occupations into large groups that are similar.”  Ask: “How do you get to school?” Possible answers: on the bus, in a car, in a van, in a truck, etc. Allow students to discuss the question. Write all of their appropriate answers on the board. Say: “Those are forms of transportation for getting children from home to school and back, safely and on time. There are many other ways people have to get from one place to another. Ask: “What are some other ways people or products get from place to place?” Possible answers: bus, car, train, plane, boat, etc. Allow students to discuss the question and the write some of their answers on the board. Ask: “What types of transportation are used to move goods, like food or lumber, from one place to the other?” Allow time for students to respond. Possible answer might include: trucks, wagons, trains, airplanes, ships, tractors.  Help students sort the types of transportation on the list by LAND, WATER and AIR. See the attached Transportation, Distribution & Logistics occupational frame for a list of occupations aligned with this cluster. Say: “I want you to think about the occupations you might see with each type of transportation.” Help them to visualize that type of transportation and the associated occupations. Write LAND, WATER, AIR on the board. List the occupations associated with each type of transportation from their thoughts. For example, bus driver/LAND.  Divide students into groups of 2 or 3. Provide the materials needed to create a mobile of different types of transportation (suggested materials: coat hangers, string, hole punch, magazines [pictures are provided on pages 4 and 5], scissors) Students should find pictures of at least one mode of transportation and an aligned occupation by air, one by sea and one by land to hang from the mobile.  Once students have completed the assignment, hang the mobiles around the room.  If time permits. Say: “Now that we’ve learned about transportation today, I want you to think for a minute about all the ways we move things and people from one place to another and then I want you to draw a picture of you working in some type of occupation in transportation. Ask: “Will you work on the land? On the sea? Or in the air?” Allow time for students to draw.  Say: “I hope you enjoyed creating your mobiles. I will enjoy looking at your mobiles hanging from the ceiling for the next few days. You did a great job! Have a great day!”

Evaluation  Students will be evaluated on their drawing and participation in the activity Enhancement  Facilitator should consult with the media specialist in the school to help select books related to the career cluster being taught. This will ensure books are appropriate for the grade level and for the learner.  Invite guest speakers representing an occupation from the cluster.  Utilize the pictures of transportation-related occupations and types of transportation on pages 4 and 5 to create a matching game where students match the person representing the occupation to the type of transportation. The individual pictures may be duplicated laminated for multiple uses, and cut into individual pieces. Each student should have his or her own set of pictures to manipulate. Imagines are from Google images and Microsoft clip art.
